This section describes a simple backup of client files. For more information, see the appropriate Using the Backup-Archive Clients User's Guide.
Note: | We recommend that you back up a small file or directory. |
Do the following to back up a remote or local client:
Note: | The node name and password of the default backup-archive client are both client. You may have also registered a local client with the same name as your workstation. |
Note: | The first backup of a file is always a full backup, regardless of what you specify. |
Note: | If you receive a message indicating that the server could not be contacted, see the Common Questions and Answers section of the Tivoli Storage Manager Online Information. |
![]() | You may not want to back up certain files. These files may be core
files, local caches of network file systems, operating system or application
files that could be easily recovered by installing the program again, or any
other files that you could easily rebuild.
You can use the include-exclude options file to exclude certain files from both incremental and selective backup processing. Tivoli Storage Manager backs up any file that is not explicitly excluded from backup. You can also include specific files that are in a directory that you have excluded. For more information, see the appropriate Using the Backup-Archive Clients User's Guide. |
